are now wrapped up in prompt*.c and do not depend on a client. These
functions are used to provide the original client prompt but also to
allow panes to have their own prompts, which works much much better for
floating panes. The mode prompts for both the tree modes and copy mode
are switched over to be per pane.
There are some visible changes (some of these may be changed if they
don't seem to be working well):
- Prompts in modes now appear in the bottom line, covering whatever
content was there.
- command-prompt has a -P flag to open a pane prompt.
- Because they cover the content, the default style for prompts in modes
now does not fill the entire line; the main command prompt stays the
same.
- The old completion menu has gone, and completions are now shown after
the text. Builtin aliases are no longer completed.
- Clicking the mouse on the prompt now moves the cursor or selects a
completion.
creating a new state for each group of commands, require the caller to
create one and use it for all the commands in the list. This means the
current target works even with list with multiple groups (which can
happen if they are defined with newlines).
use this to add descriptions to the default key bindings. A new -N flag
to list-keys shows key bindings with notes rather than the default
bind-key command used to create them. Change the default ? binding to
use this to show a readable summary of keys.
Also extend command-prompt to return the name of the key pressed and add
a default binding (/) to show the note for the next key pressed

parser using yacc(1). This is a major change but is clearer and simpler
and allows some edge cases to be made more consistent, as well as
tidying up how aliases are handled. It will also allow some further
improvements later.
Entirely the same parser is now used for parsing the configuration file
and for string commands. This means that constructs previously only
available in .tmux.conf, such as %if, can now be used in string commands
(for example, those given to if-shell - not commands invoked from the
shell, they are still parsed by the shell itself).
The only syntax change I am aware of is that #{} outside quotes or a
comment is now considered a format and not a comment, so #{ is now a
syntax error (notably, if it is at the start of a line).
This also adds two new sections to the man page documenting the syntax
and outlining how parsing and command execution works.
Thanks to everyone who sent me test configs (they still all parse
without errors - but this doesn't mean they still work as intended!).
Thanks to Avi Halachmi for testing and man page improvements, also to
jmc@ for reviewing the man page changes.
CMD_FIND_* flags in the cmd_entry and call it for the command. Commands
with special requirements call it themselves and update the target for
hooks to use.
the same as normal searching but updates the cursor position and marked
search terms as you type. C-r and C-s in the prompt repeat the search,
once finished searching (with Enter), N and n work as before.
but there is also now a global command queue. Instead of command queues
being dispatched on demand from wherever the command happens to be
added, they are now all dispatched from the top level server
loop. Command queues may now also include callbacks as well as commands,
and items may be inserted after the current command as well as at the end.
This all makes command queues significantly more predictable and easier
to use, and avoids the complex multiple nested command queues used by
source-file, if-shell and friends.
A mass rename of struct cmdq to a better name (cmdq_item probably) is
coming.
support line editing and instead executes a command as soon as a
non-number key is pressed. Add a -N flag to command-prompt for the same
in copy mode. Reported by Theo Buehler.
The vi-copy and emacs-copy mode key tables are gone, and instead copy
mode commands are bound in one of two normal key tables ("copy-mode" or
"copy-mode-vi"). Keys are bound to "send-keys -X copy-mode-command". So:
bind -temacs-copy C-Up scroll-up
bind -temacs-copy -R5 WheelUpPane scroll-up
Becomes:
bind -Tcopy-mode C-Up send -X scroll-up
bind -Tcopy-mode WheelUpPane send -N5 -X scroll-up
This allows the full command parser and command set to be used - for
example, we can use the normal command prompt for searching, jumping,
and so on instead of a custom one:
bind -Tcopy-mode C-r command-prompt -p'search up' "send -X search-backward '%%'"
command-prompt also gets a -1 option to only require on key press, which
is needed for jumping.
The plan is to get rid of mode keys entirely, so more to come eventually.
